Christmas Trivia Facts - Part One

It is Christmas Trivia Fact time.  When you go to a Christmas party and need something to talk about bring up one of these facts and see how the conversation goes.  So here we go:
Each year more than 3 billion Christmas cards are sent in the U.S. alone.
Alabama was the first state in the U.S. to officially recognize Christmas and that year was 1836.
Oklahoma was the last U.S. state to declare Christmas a legal holiday and that was in 1907.
Christmas was not declared an official holiday in the U.S. until June 26, 1870.
In 1962, the first Christmas postage stamp was issued in the U.S.
Christmas purchases account for 1/6 of all retail sales in the U.S.
I will have some more Christmas Trivia Facts over the next few days. Until then, Glaedelig Jul aka Merry Christmas in Danish!
